In projecting climate variables such as temperature, precipitation, and humidity, there is generally a tradeoff between (a) the ability to produce high - resolution projections needed to inform local decisions and model local responses, and (b) the ability to sample uncertainty.

2017 Paper — Assessing temperature pattern projections made in 1989 Ronald J. Stouffer * and Syukuro Manabe 2

p.s. To compare to Vahrenholt's forecast, here's a comparison of earlier model projections of global temperature for the IPCC (prediction with the CMIP3 model ensemble used in the 4th IPCC assessment report, published in 2007) with the actual changes in temperature (the four colored curves).

What is shockingly ill - advised to me is that the Pielke and McIntyre projections both required, in order to fit with their hoped for story line, that the adjustments not only affect the period from 1945 to 1960, but also extend beyond that into the late 90s, in order to level the more recent temperature increases so as to both make the rate appear less dramatic and the amount of recent, CO2 forced warming less of a concern.

None of the large scale models used for the IPCC projections have been calibrated on the last millennium — because of uncertainty in the temperatures and uncertainties in the forcings.

COMMENTARY: Assessing temperature pattern projections made in 1989 Ronald J. Stouffer * and Syukuro Manabe https://www.nature.com/articles/nclimate3224.epd Full access url @ https://goo.gl/hgsy6o

Analysis of simple models and intercomparisons of AOGCM responses to idealised forcing scenarios suggest that, for most scenarios over the coming decades, errors in large - scale temperature projections are likely to increase in proportion to the magnitude of the overall response.

None of this «oh, natural variation and cool spells are expected to interrupt the warming (for more than a year or two)» crap... that's not what has been predicted, and if temperatures do not rebound in a big way soon, AGW projections will continue to look foolish.

that's not what has been predicted, and if temperatures do not rebound in a big way soon, AGW projections will continue to look foolish.

Does this prediction and the confidence with which it is made «The quasi-regularity of some natural climate forcing mechanisms, combined with knowledge of human - made forcings, allows projection of near - term global temperature trends with reasonably high confidence», reflect the consensus of climate scientists, in your opinion?

I particularly enjoyed the slides that, when combined (1) provided an overview of hotter and cooler CO2 molecules as it relates to how they are seen from outer space and from profile — because this will make it easier for me to explain this process to others; (2) walked through the volcanic and solar activity vs assigning importance to CO2 changes — because this another way to help make it clearer, too, but in another way; (3) discussed CO2 induced warming and ocean rise vs different choices we might make — because this helps point out why every day's delay matters; and (4) showed Figure 1 from William Nordhaus» «Strategies for Control of Carbon Dioxide» and then super-imposed upon that the global mean temperature in colors showing pre-paper and post-paper periods — because this helps to show just how far back it was possible to make reasoned projections without the aid of a more nuanced and modern understanding.

The IPCC Third Assessment Report's (TAR's) projections for methane atmospheric concentrations, carbon dioxide emissions and atmospheric concentrations, and resultant temperature increases constitute the greatest fraud in the history of environmental science.

«In this post we will evaluate this contrarian claim by comparing the global surface temperature projections from each of the first four IPCC reports to the subsequent observed temperature changes.

Do you think that in the same way that the Solanki et al paper on solar sunspot reconstructions had a specific statement that their results did not contradict ideas of strong greenhouse warming in recent decades, this (the fact that climate sensitivity projections are not best estimates of possible future actual temperature increases) should be clearly noted in media releases put out by scientists when reporting climate sensitivity studies?

Is there a probability / odds level «threshold» if - you - will, whereby if the odds of «x» number of «y» years of observed temperature anomaly all occurring outside the confidence interval for a model's temperature projection, that it would be time for a paradigm shift in the particulars of the model, moreso than the normal tweaks?

In the end, I would hypothesize that the result of the freeing of data and code will necessarily lead to a more robust understanding of scientific uncertainties, which may have the perverse effect of making the future less clear, i.e., because it will result in larger error bars around observed temperature trends which will carry through into the projectionIn the end, I would hypothesize that the result of the freeing of data and code will necessarily lead to a more robust understanding of scientific uncertainties, which may have the perverse effect of making the future less clear, i.e., because it will result in larger error bars around observed temperature trends which will carry through into the projectionin larger error bars around observed temperature trends which will carry through into the projections.

But in some way it is... it's economics... a old debate is resurfacing, as far as I can tell, the debate abut that the projections (of the temperature) being false or just bad sins (IPCC) they build on unrealistic developments for the poor part of the world (especially for the lower temperature boarder).

In your graph of temperature measurements vs model projections, you discuss Scenario B, while it appears that Scenario C is almost identical to HadCrut3 and GisTemp.

Then some climate modelers even have the audacity to publish regional «projections» saying that the Colorado River will dry up in 50 - 100 years, or the rainfall and temperature somewhere else will change this way or that.

The main cause of the spread in the widely quoted 1.5 to 5.8 C range of temperature projections for 2100 in IPCC is actually the different scenarios used.

Just as I am sure that somewhere in the range of the IPCC projections (or «forecasts» if you prefer), lies the true course of temperature during the next 20 - 50 years or so (and maybe longer).

Wouldn't it be better if we put our efforts on accurate shorter term temperature projections, say what will happen in 6 months no more than a few years from now, check the models and brag about their accuracy or correct their failures, if the models are continuously correct all contrarian arguments die.
